Environmental Site Assessments

Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) play a pivotal role in understanding and managing environmental, health, and safety considerations associated with sites or businesses. Whether driven by real estate transactions, insurance arrangements, permits, or internal risk management, a comprehensive ESA is crucial. At Anthesis, we recognise the diverse needs for assessments and offer tailored solutions to provide clients with valuable insights and a foundation for sustainable practices.

Partnering with Anthesis ensures a holistic approach to environmental management. Our commitment to excellence, global experience, and sector-specific expertise make us the preferred choice for clients seeking comprehensive and reliable environmental solutions. With a focus on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) commitments, we go beyond traditional assessments to include climate change and sustainability considerations, aligning with evolving industry standards.

How we help clients

Identifying and quantifying environmental, health and safety issues at particular sites has traditionally been achieved by undertaking Phase I Environmental Assessments (“Environmental Audits”). If required, Phase II Environmental Assessments can also be completed.

Phase I Environmental Assessments include a desk study element. This comprises a review of pertinent historical maps, aerial photographs and records, as well as current regulatory information. Where appropriate, a site visit may also be carried out to gain a first-hand understanding of its operations and condition.

In some cases, Phase I Assessments uncover actual or potential contamination of soil or groundwater, and/or development planning or regulatory processes require a baseline on current site conditions. Anthesis can clarify the nature and extent of that contamination risk by undertaking a Phase II Environmental Assessment.
